Joy & Wander Photography

ke we are friends now! Our engagement photo session was so much fun and she was so flexible with our time. The wedding day could not have been more magical! She went above and beyond to get the best pictures I could ever imagine! She climbed on a railing at one point!! And she and Jules, her fabulous shooting partner, put together this amazing contraption to make it look like we were casting spells on each other! They really took our love for Harry Potter and ran with it in the most perfect way possible! She truly captured every possible moment of our special day and I could not be more happy with these photos. We will cherish the photos and the magically fun experience that we had with her for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU, Hillary, for making our day so perfect!

the say went as smoothly as possible. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and really helped us out with some of our day of coordination. We could not have asked for a better photographer :)

thtaking photos in my life. It was easily the best decision that we made for our wedding. She is the sweetest person and is so easy to work with, and I am thankful to call her a friend after all of this. If you are struggling to find the perfect photographer, I highly recommend Hillary!

e all shared the day they were taken. The photo album that she created is a gorgeous keepsake that I will treasure forever!

on we trusted to do justice to our son and daughter-in-law's wedding was Hilary Joy Photography. She has such an incredible talent and really takes her time to learn about her customers wants and needs. She has an incredible eye for that perfect picture and really goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy. The finished product from our sons wedding was truly an incredible look at their magical day and Hilary seemed to capture every single moment! I cannot rave more about what an wonderful job and fantastic person Hilary was to work with!

kes beautiful photos that really capture the moment and the emotions perfectly! She edited and sent us our photos quickly after the event, and they looked just how we envisioned they would. We would highly recommend Hillary to anyone in need of a photographer. I would hire her again anytime!

had our pictures available, digital and printed, in a timely fashion. Thanks to Hillary we will always enjoy looking back at our photos of family and friends and relive those wonderful moments of an extremely special day for our family.

ully she had our date available (on a Friday night in October in MN!). We negotiated a fair price as we only needed her for ~2 hours. We aren't much for photos of ourselves and our bridal party was small, so we didn't need much. She was there at 4 pm and the ceremony was at 5:30 pm. We did some photos as a couple, some with our son, and then with family and our small wedding party. Hillary was so patient and gracious to our family and our guests. We are so incredibly amazed with the quality of the photos that she took. They are breathtaking and for a couple who doesn't really like photos taken, we are in awe of how beautiful we look in the pictures :) Unfortunately she has since moved to Georgia, otherwise we would be hiring her for our son's 2 year photos. I would HIGHLY recommend her to future brides and grooms, graduates, families, etc.

ith and arranged a meeting with my husband and I to sit down and discuss what we hoped for and expected out of her. She has a signed contract which makes every bride's mind more at ease also. :) Prior to the wedding she helped me surprise my husband with a Boudoir album. She was very comfortable to work with and created a tasteful album to present my husband with the morning of our wedding. The morning of the wedding was equally documented with both sides of the bridal party as were got ready in separate rooms. During the wedding ceremony itself I don't remember seeing Hillary but she captured very special candid pictures of the entire ceremony. The photos turned out amazing and there were pictures from every angle. After the ceremony we did outdoor pictures with our getaway car and by the woods. They were very original poses not just the traditional ones every does. Hillary stayed late into our reception and rounded off the day with pictures of all our friends and family. Our pictures were edited and returned to us quickly and were presented in a beautiful keepsake case with a personalized jump drive. If you are looking for a reliable, affordable, creative and talented photographer than Hillary is your gal. I couldn't be any happier with how our pictures turned out and the experience we had working with her!
